koha 3.0.6 overdue_notices.pl: triggered and csv options
by jason sherman 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Hi all, I'm having a little trouble using the -t and -csv options together on the overdue_notices.pl script. It appears that when a user does not have an email address, overdue notices are not triggered for them. Because of this, the admin csv email always comes up empty when using triggered notices. The csv option works just as expected without the triggered option, but of course that has very different notification behavior. Am I missing something? Thanks, -- Jason Sherman

[KOHA] Koha GIT - Cloned the main repository but stuck on how to proceed
by Susan Mustafa 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Dear Chris, and all Koha, This might not be best place to ask, but I am new to GIT and I have searched all day on a way to do the following. [Development] [Test] [Production] <--Big Servers, not laptop [*Development Server to have*] ============[Koha GIT Clone] ====> sudo git clone git:// git.koha-community.org/koha.git koha-clone ========================[Company Branch] =====>sudo git branch --track MSDR-Branch origin/master [*Test Server to have*] ==================Only Test Code [no git] [*Production Server to have*] ==================Only Production Code [no git] Now I believe up to this point I understand and it is working fine. However I am stuck on the following: [My Laptop - Local Development] - How do I checkout the MSDR-Branch on this laptop, so I can make changes to it, and commit those changes to the MSDR-Branch. [Help please]. I did alot of different commands, non of which work. Assuming the laptop has SSH installed, and the IP is 123.xx.xxx.xxx I searched google for remote branches/checking out remote branches/....and I don't know how to proceed. It all seems complicated? Do I use checkout command, and how do I access the MSDR-Branch from the server while working from laptop. I kindly need your help, anyone :) The development workflow should be like: ===============Development Server========GIT Clone + Main MSDR-Branch *The whole team will have to use it, not just me* | | | | | ======================Laptop - only me--commiting code to GIT on the Development Server MSDR-Branch ======================Another Laptop - someone else -- committing code to GIT on the Development Server MSDR-Branch ps: I really did search a lot. I even used EGIT for Eclipse but it was not great...not like the SVN plugin. Thanks,

Upgrade from Koha 3.00.00 to 3.0.6
by Susan Mustafa 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Good Day All, I would like to know how I can start the upgrade process from Koha 3.00.00 to Koha 3.0.6 [Kindly keep in mind that our version of Koha 3.0.0 has a lot of in-house changes] What steps should I follow? Resources to read? I know there is the subversion vendor branches merge that I can do, but I am unsure if that will work and be sufficient. Kindly awaiting your response, Best Regards,

Collecting bookmarks / links about Koha on Diigo
by Kristina Hoeppner 31 Jul '10

31 Jul '10

Hello, My name is Kristina and I am new to the Koha community. I just began to familiarize myself with Koha a couple of weeks ago when I joined the Koha team at Catalyst around Chris Cormack. My function in that team is not yet clearly defined, but I will have more of an e-learning perspective onto Koha than a purely librarian's view of how to use Koha or a developer's view, and among others investigate ideas of how Koha could be integrated into learning management systems and e-portfolios, in particular Moodle (www.moodle.org) and Mahara (www.mahara.org) respectively as Catalyst is actively involved in the development of these two open source software products. My background is in training teachers and students at higher education institutions in the use of digital media in general and educational technology in particular. I am very excited to work with Koha, explore its functionalities, and help to implement ideas that allow Koha to be integrated into other systems. As the Koha community already has a YouTube and Zotero group besides the community web site, I thought it would be an idea to also have a Diigo group in order to collect bookmarks that are solely concerned with Koha making it easy for people to find "Everything Koha" (http://groups.diigo.com/group/everything-koha) that is on the net. Chris and I already started to bookmark the first resources. We invite everybody to join the group and add further bookmarks. The easiest way to do that once you have created a Diigo account and got accepted into the group is to install the Diigo toolbar. Whenever you bookmark a Koha resource, you can immediately share it with a group, in our case the "Everything Koha" group (You can also share it with multiple groups.). It helps to find this bookmark if you tag it. Once you have selected the group you want to share your bookmark with, tags that have already been used in the group are recommended to you. You can also provide a description about the resource. That is particularly useful if the title of the web page does not provide a whole lot of information about the web page content. If you are stuck somewhere in Diigo, you may want to check out their tutorials. A note on alert settings: The default settings for alerts on new content in the group is "immediate". That means you will get an email shortly after somebody added a resource. If you do not want to receive that email or change the settings to an email once a day or once a week to keep tabs on new additions to the group, please change your alert settings on the web page of the group. If you only want to browse the bookmarks, you can also do that and do not need a Diigo account.

Dear all, I've defined a repeatable subfield in a MARC framework, however, when adding a new marc record the subfield cannot be repeated. The "+" and "-" signs appear next to the subfield but cannot be clicked. Best regards, Miguel Ferreira - - Miguel Ferreira, Ph.D. KEEP SOLUTIONS, LDA.

Different circulation rules for the same item type
by Miguel Ferreira 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

Dear all, We are testing Koha 3.0.6 and a question regarding a specific circulation rule has come up. How may one set up a circulation rule that states that a specific holding of a given item type (e.g. book) may be checked out for a period of 5 days, and another holding of the same type may be checked out for 10 days. To solved this, should we create 2 distinct item types, e.g. book5days and book10days? Is there a better way to do this? Regards, Miguel Ferreira - - Miguel Ferreira, Ph.D. KEEP SOLUTIONS, LDA.
